a cause int there is the words of john mccain who i got to see one last time before he died. i think he was having trouble talking, he said there is nothing more liberating in life than fighting for a cause larger than yourself, and that cause for us right now is literally the cause of our democracy, to be standing up for democracy. when i talk about the challenges that we need to meet, and that's where we should be, we shouldn't be governing from chaos, we should be governing from opportunity. and those opportunities are right in front of us, as are the challenges. and one of the things that really bothers me about the trump administration and about trump is that he keeps doing things to disrupt the discussions that we need to have, and dividing people on really hard issues like immigration instead of reading us together because we know we have to move forward. andead of looking away looking down, if you look up and you look in front of you, you see these challenges. you see the challenges of income inequality in this country. and what we need to do and that tax bill the rep
